It's during an interview with Jeremy Renner as they were promoting Civil War. The interviewer posed a question about Black Widow's romantic ties to both characters and Jeremy Renner deadpanned, "she's a slut" which caused that outburst from Evans. Another gaffer linked the video in an earlier post.
..he's laughing

Chris Evans is meant to represent Marvel Studios, or something.

So if BvS is at 27%, and SS is at 37%, that means Justice League will be a 57% on RT.

Someone tag this man! This is amazing.
There's no way that a future Batman movie would fail at the box office. Same goes for a Justice League or a Superman. Regardless of how bad they or any other DC movies are.
The problem DC will have is that they probably won't be able to do a Guardians of the Galaxy. I guess perhaps Suicide Squad is there attempt at that, but it speaks volumes that they had to put Batman and The Joker in there.
DC would not be able to take a set of characters or a series that mainstream audiences don't really know and get people into the cinema primarily on the basis that it's a new DC thing, without any prior grounding in the characters or story. Marvel won people's trust so they took a shot on an unknown quantity, because there was positive word of mouth, and Marvel's track record in the run up to GOTG was solid.
DC will probably just see diminishing returns on their big name characters, and not much else. Unless people really fall in love with The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg as depicted in the Justice League movies, their standalone movies will crash and burn.
The Rock might be able to carry Shazam, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is hoping to distance it from the other DC movies.

All this talk of "edge" makes it sound like it has always looked in the trailers: Hot Topic, the Movie.

Patty Jenkins is sweating real hard right now.
The trailers are kinda promising. I was thinking it will be around 70% rating

Bane. Wasn't handled perfectly in terms of narrative towards the end, but I loved Hardy's portrayal.

Whether it was rhetorical or not, this movie seems to be like a 12 year olds idea of what "dark" should be. Civil War deals with some dark themes and ideas, but it does so without having to go OTT.

they already fucked up by casting an actress with the range of a tea spoon.
i don't think they can overcome that.

They'll fuck up Wonder Woman. They already partially have just by casting Gal Gadot.

Wonder Woman is doomed. WB gonna panic and chop it to bits.
thats not saying much, Zod was just a butthurt man trying to take revenge

That movie is definitely not happening now. Or it turns into a Titans movie.
Indeed, that thing will crash and burn

I wouldn't be so sure about Justice League. It might pay for the sins of BvS regardless of how good or bad it actually is. That happened with several sequels this summer. Its the follow-up to a very divisive movie in a very divisive franchise. It's not goint to bomb because of the curiosity factor but I wouldn't be surprised if it grossed less than BvS. The 3 characters that will sell tickets in Justice League were already in BvS anyway, the rest of the League isn't going to expand the audience much.

Please someone shop Chris Evans in the Wonder Woman trailer
He was also a better Captain Boomerang

We usually don't review movies, but we figured we'd make an exception. Here's our review: http://press-start.com.au/reviews/movies/2016/08/03/suicide-squad-review/
what idiot? Zemo?
c'mon, DKR sells you the idea that Bane is all knowing and always a step ahead of batman when in reality he's just a puppet,
at least Zemo was the one pulling the strings of everyone on Civil War

Saw io9, indiewire, and moviebob criticizing Leto's Joker. Ledger still the GOAT.
BTW there's still room on my Godzilla-Kong bandwagon. Get hype and hop on folks!

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Geoff Johns must be like "You fuckers should have called me earlier" and then he'll shrug, it's not his problem. Wonder Woman is.

I never really had great expectations about BvS, especially considering how much I disliked MoS, but I really had high hopes for this one. It really seemed like artistically they made great choices and the trailers/previews all looked like a lot of fun. I'll still go see it but I don't understand why WB/DC is having such a hard time putting these characters into good movies :x
